  1. My tool pouch tie down has been gone for yrs... fucking junk Hondas! !!!😀😁😂 then again I am not sure I ever used my tool pouch on my Honda .
  2. Mobil 1 15-50 or 20-50 has been in my bird since I bought it in 06. 76k on the clock and NO issues at all.
  3. I hear you suck a mean pecker?

  4. As the title states This is my track bike up for sale. She is all stock motor and suspension Just over 13k miles on the clock Woodcraft rearsets SS front brake lines HH pads Front PP 70% tread left Rear Q3 70% tread left Clean NJ title in hand Asking $1800
  5. Sold this girl last night. They showed up with a U-haul truck so I knew they wanted it. The kid was all smiles when he rode it so we loaded it up and off they went. We are picking up the CRF250R on Friday.
  6. It's been a great bike. Starts with only 2-3 kicks. Never had a mins problem with it. If I had the room I would keep it for a pit bike or just to putt around on but with Tyler getting another bike I don't have the room. There is already 10lbs of shit in my 3lbs bag. I need to take stuff out of my shed just so I can work on stuff.
  7. Tyler has out grown this bike. So we are selling it. Tires are good. Brakes are good. Plus I have EBC front pads and stock rear shoes in a box with some extra spokes. I am offering it up here for $1000
  8. The HID headlights are fucking awesome. Just buy a good set. Mine have been in both high and low beam for 7yrs and about 40k miles. Only had to change 1 bulb. The make a huge difference in night riding as far as sight distance. My electrical problem was a corroded ground that was not working as it should. After I cleaned all the connections the problem has not come back. Don't fear the HID embrace it. They are great. Do your research first though.
  9. I always try to shock the stuck bolt with a few love taps from a small hammer. 9 times out of 10 it will breake the tension of what is holding it and it will turn. For those times it doesn't work I try to apply a bit of heat and then tap. For all other times there is Mastercard. ... 😀 😄 😜
  10. Mikey I am not sure how your ballasts are mounted and all the wiring is tied on your bike. I have mine tied to the fairing stay and the bulbs are accessible by removing the inner dash panel. They are still a bitch and many curse word fly when changing a bulb but I have done it twice and didn't take the nose fairing off. As for the bulbs. If you have a 35w ballast you should go with a 35w bulb and you will have to match up the connectors. Whatever you do DON'T touch the bulb itself. Grab it by the base. The oils from your skin will create hotspots on the bulb and it will burn out prematurely. Same as with a halogen bulb.
  11. Good to hear the electrical is sorted out. As for the mix, being at lower altitude than it was tuned for would make it run leaner, not richer. That said, a couple hundred feet makes little difference and would likely take a dyno and/or exhaust gas analyzer to detect. If this is the case then I need to dig into it and see why I am running on the rich side. Because everyone that rides behinde me complains of the exhaust smelling like it is running rich. In the winter months as soon as the bike starts Incan turn the choke off and it will run fine without the choke. That tells me that it is running too rich. Summer time I don't even need the choke to start it. Maybe it is as simple as adjusting the air fuel mix screws just a smidgen. Thanks guys.
  12. 👍 sounds like a kickass plan for sure. Damn you got some kickass mpg. I haven't seen anywhere near that. Best I have ever seen is 42. Not lately though. I am thinking it is time to tune the carbs.
  13. For a ride or carb work? MotoAmerica is the second week in Sept.
  14. Just had mine apart this spring. The trick is to get them close and then place the cover on top just by hand (no screws). Then remove it. It seems to push the rubber where it needs to be. Thanks I will keep that in mind and try it when I tear it apart. May wait till the fall so I don't miss any ridin time.
  15. I believe Karen said it was in a box.. winning... 😀
